SINGAPORE: The police on Friday (June 3) warned the public to remain vigilant against fake online articles that feature Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong purportedly endorsing cryptocurrency auto-trading programs that are portrayed as highly lucrative.

These fake articles, which are usually paid advertisements, act as “clickbait”, as they direct users to different websites once they click on links within these articles.
